While I don't necessarily meditate per se, I do chant everyday. I follow a sect of Buddhism known as Nichiren Buddhism. Basically, the chanting helps to elevate our life conditions so that we're able to face any challenges in our daily lives. You focus on changing your attitude/thinking so that you affect your environment and not the other way around. Buddha in Your Mirror (http://www.amazon.com/Buddha-Your-Mirror-Practical-Buddhism/...) and Buddha in Daily Life (http://www.amazon.com/Buddha-Daily-Life-Introduction-Daishon...) are 2 interesting books that I'd recommend if anyone's interested.
